Aragorn I

Aragorn I (Sindarin for "Lord of the Tree", from orn = "tree") was the son of Aravir, who succeeded his father to become Chieftain of the Dúnedain. He ruled during the time known as the Watchful Peace, during which Sauron had withdrawn for a time into the the East of Middle-earth. Sauron's retreat, though, did not mean that the Westlands were free of danger or evil, and even in those days Eriador was infested with wild wolves. After a few short years as Chieftain, it seems that Aragorn went out on a hunt, and fell prey to the wolves himself.

Aragorn I ruled as Chieftain for eight years, and was succeeded by his son Araglas.
